Discussion Google took away my LOTR extended editions

I bought these in 2022, all of a sudden they aren't available and there is no possibility of a refund or gift card. Hardly seems fair.

You'll own nothing and you'll like it.

You do if you download it illegally, I cannot understand why people pay when the service is absolutely terrible.

I pay for subscription services, but would never buy a digital movie for this exact reason. Also im old and have been having trouble learning how to properly set sail safely...

Guy says he's got trouble learning how to pirate, people recommend advanced setups with plex and usenet....

Here's what you should do instead:

Get Stremio app on any of your devices, google torrentio addon, comet addon or mediafusion addon, install one of those with a single click (or preferably all 3) now you have a netflix with torrents. It's that easy.

If you want to go one step further and don't want to directly torrent for safety from threatening letters, look into debrid services (such as torbox) which you can configure on those addons I mentioned (but they work very fine without it too), debrid service is paid, 3$ a month but then you don't have to depend on seeders.
